联邦监察人员在审查拜登政府“欢迎盟友行动”项目下获批入境阿富汗公民的庇护申请时,发现40%的申请存在至少一项文件或审查错误,并得出结论称这些缺陷增加了美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)可能遗漏可能导致申请人无资格获得庇护信息的风险。
这份9月23日发布的美国国土安全部(DHS)监察长办公室报告,对通过“欢迎盟友行动”提交的678份阿富汗公民庇护申请样本进行了审查。“欢迎盟友行动”是美国从阿富汗撤军后拜登政府启动的一项倡议。
监察人员发现303个别名缺失、23项安全检查缺失,以及150多项其他文件缺陷,其中包括两起申请人可能因恐怖主义相关理由被拒绝入境的案件。

这一调查结果公布之际,“欢迎盟友行动”因多名通过该项目入境的阿富汗公民被高调逮捕而再次受到审视。
福克斯新闻数字频道此前曾报道过相关逮捕案件:一名据称是伊斯兰国呼罗珊分支支持者的阿富汗人、一名被控实施恐怖威胁的阿富汗人,以及另一名通过“欢迎盟友行动”入境后因对未成年人猥亵定罪而被捕的阿富汗人。

在一份新闻稿中,国土安全部辩称,这份报告证明拜登政府“危险地管理失当”了“欢迎盟友行动”,并表示一项要求美国公民及移民服务局在150天内完成90%庇护申请裁决的诉讼和解,迫使该机构优先考虑速度而非更彻底的审查。
国土安全部监察长的报告指出,数百个申请人的别名未被记录,并强调了准确记录存档的重要性,还提到一名申请人已知的别名多达124个。
报告称,“遗漏的联邦调查局姓名检查”占报告发现的缺失安全检查的近60%。
报告还标记了两起涉及存在潜在恐怖主义相关问题申请人的庇护申请。其中一起案件中,记录政府审查的必要文件完全缺失。另一起案件中,主管人员启动了审批流程,但从未完成最后步骤,没有留下审查已完成的明确记录。

保守派移民研究中心执行主任马克·克里科里安表示,监察长的调查结果加剧了自2021年喀布尔混乱撤离以来批评人士一直存在的担忧。
“40%的申请存在错误,这一事实令人担忧,”克里科里安告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“这份监察长报告恰恰表明,我们此前被告知正在进行的审查是多么肤浅,甚至多么轻率。”
克里科里安表示,许多撤离人员首先被空运到第三国的临时处理中心,有时被称为“中转站”,之后才最终获准进入美国。虽然这些地点让美国官员能够进行额外审查,但他认为实际情况是,伙伴国不会永久接收这些撤离人员,最终美国实际上不得不承诺重新安置他们。

“一旦货舱门关闭,我们就被困住了,”克里科里安说,他指出在喀布尔混乱撤离期间,美国实际上一旦撤离航班起飞,就承诺重新安置撤离人员。
克里科里安辩称,监察长的报告可能低估了问题的严重程度,因为监察人员只能识别他们审查的档案中可见的文件缺陷,无法确定每名申请人是否都经过了彻底审查。

监察长最终提出了五项旨在加强美国公民及移民服务局对“欢迎盟友行动”庇护申请审查的建议,包括改进申请人别名的文件记录、确保必要的安全检查得到妥善记录,以及加强对裁决档案的监督。
根据报告,美国公民及移民服务局同意了全部五项建议。

Biden Afghan migrant program hit with 40% vetting failure rate: ‘Alarming’
The audit identified hundreds of missing aliases and incomplete terrorism-related reviews

Federal inspectors identified one or more documentation or vetting errors in 40% of asylum applications they reviewed for Afghan nationals admitted under the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome program, concluding the deficiencies increased the risk U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) could miss information that may have made some applicants ineligible for asylum.
The Sept. 23 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General report reviewed a sample of 678 asylum applications filed by Afghan nationals admitted through Operation Allies Welcome, the Biden administration initiative launched after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Inspectors identified 303 missing aliases, 23 missing security checks and more than 150 additional documentation deficiencies, including two cases involving applicants who may have been inadmissible on terrorism-related grounds.
FORMER USCIS OFFICIAL, ACCOMPLICE CHARGED IN ALLEGED $960K CITIZENSHIP BRIBERY SCHEME
The findings come as Operation Allies Welcome has faced renewed scrutiny following several high-profile arrests of Afghan nationals admitted under the program.
Fox News Digital has previously reported on the arrests of an alleged ISIS-K supporter, an Afghan national charged with making terroristic threats and another Afghan national admitted under Operation Allies Welcome who was later arrested after being convicted of indecent exposure to a minor.

In a press release, DHS argued the report demonstrated the Biden administration “dangerously mismanaged” Operation Allies Welcome, saying a lawsuit settlement that required USCIS to adjudicate 90% of asylum applications within 150 days forced the agency to prioritize speed over more thorough reviews.
The DHS inspector general report, which noted hundreds of aliases had not been recorded for applicants, underscored the importance of accurate record keeping, pointing out one applicant had 124 known aliases.
The report said that “missed FBI name checks” accounted for nearly 60% of the absent security checks that the report identified.
The report also flagged two asylum applications involving applicants with potential terrorism-related concerns. In one case, required paperwork documenting the government’s review was missing entirely. In another, supervisors began the approval process but never completed the final step, leaving no clear record that the review had been finished.

Mark Krikorian, executive director of the conservative Center for Immigration Studies, said the inspector general’s findings reinforce concerns critics have raised since the chaotic Kabul evacuation in 2021.
“The fact that 40% of these applications have errors is alarming,” Krikorian told Fox News Digital. “This IG report just underlines how superficial and even frivolous the vetting that we were assured was going on was.”
Krikorian said many evacuees were first flown to temporary processing hubs, sometimes referred to as “lily pads,” in third countries before ultimately being admitted to the United States. While those locations allowed U.S. officials to conduct additional processing, he argued the practical reality was that partner countries were not going to permanently accept the evacuees, leaving the United States effectively committed to resettling them.

“As soon as that cargo bay door closed, we’re stuck with those people,” Krikorian said, noting how the United States effectively committed itself to resettling evacuees once they boarded evacuation flights during the chaotic Kabul withdrawal.
Krikorian argued the inspector general’s report likely understated the scope of the problem because inspectors could only identify documentation deficiencies visible in the files they reviewed, not determine whether every applicant had been thoroughly vetted.

The inspector general ultimately made five recommendations aimed at strengthening USCIS’ review of Operation Allies Welcome asylum applications, including improving documentation of applicant aliases, ensuring required security checks are properly recorded and enhancing oversight of adjudication files.
USCIS agreed with all five recommendations, according to the report.
